Fab Lab:Day 1

Today we learned about interfaces in our lives. Almost everyhting we use in electronics has an interface that can control a two dimensional surface or a three dimensional surface. Two dimensions is easy, for example, a computer mouse uses a two dimensiona...

Fab Lab:Day 2 (Morning)

Today, I’m excited to start making infrared pens that we will use to control our Wiimotes with more ease. It’s also going to be cool use processing and learning more about it. Hopefully I will understand it as I am eager to learn about this so...

Fab Lab Day 3

Fab Lab:Day 2 RECAP

IR sensors obviously must be in a shortage in San Diego, seeing as how it took our instructor, Katie about an hour and a half to muster up enough to allow us to continue with our IR sensor work. The work involes soldering an infrared light onto somesort o...

The Gravitational Constant

The Gravitational Constant is a physical constant, meaning that it is constant through time and space, that measures the attraction between two objects with mass. The constant states that the attractive force between two objects is the product of their m...

Fab Lab: Day 5

The day has finally come. My final chance to create and share with the rest of the class the one and the only Cookie Monster! But yes, today is our final day working with processing. So far I have created 3 things only one of which I am somewhat proud of...

Fab Lab Final Day:UPDATED

3…2…1…and we have liftoff! Success! Yes i did finally create cookie monster, and now he has an added bonus to him as well. Now instead his eye just following you(he only has one eye now…) when you click the screen Cookie-Clops(that...
